Re: [eclipse-mirrors] Size of Eclipse mirrors

Thanks for your efforts too.

Would it make sense to ask for help from the community to improve/create the tools for mirror management? I'm sure some people in the community would like to help, with some guidance from the core contributors.

I apologize that Eclipse is taking too much disk space on your mirrors. 
We're working towards resolution. We are tracking that effort here:

Could you please initiate another purge? Please also make sure that you
don't need to be reminded from outsiders. Eclipse currently uses 1.2
TByte of disk storage. Top "offenders":

58G ./eclipse
58G ./oomph
74G ./modeling
143G  ./justj
262G  ./technology

Thank you for the note. It's an ongoing process and we actively monitor and clean as we can.

Eclipse Foundation is a community of over 400 OSS projects and we've (luckily) been experiencing consistent growth over the years, but growth has actually accelerated in recent years. This is a good problem to have, but the side effect is a long tail of OSS projects with binaries that are mirrore.

The positive aspect for mirror maintainers is that you do not need to manage those 400+ projects individually, the Eclipse IT team provides an interface to the group.

We very much appreciate your time, effort, compute resources and bandwidth in helping these projects distribute their binaries. We could not do it without you.
